He turned out to be a handsome man, about 30 years old, wearing round-framed glasses and looking very bookish.
When he saw Jiang Li, he was stunned for a moment. Seeing Jiang Li, who looked similar to his aunt, he immediately realized that this was the cousin that grandma mentioned in the letter, "sister."
Pei Lan introduced him, "This is your uncle's son, your cousin Xu Siyan.
I went to the west with my professor to do an experiment some time ago. I came back yesterday and was unable to go home for the Chinese New Year reunion dinner. "
"Hello, cousin!"
Jiang Li prepared for Peilan the most fashionable down jacket and wool scarf in the south. She had also heard of this cousin and prepared a set of clothes for him as well.
Xu Siyan seemed a little flustered, his fingers groping all over his body. He had not prepared any gift for the meeting.
He went up to explore and found only a piece of rough stone in his arms, which was found in the mountains. The rough stone was broken into pieces, revealing a milky white jade at the window.
"I discovered this by chance when I was doing an experimental investigation with the professor. The professor asked me to choose the best piece. After polishing it, it can be made into a pair of jade pendants. I will send it to you when it is carved."
"Thank you, bro."
"Why!"
After chatting for a while, Jiang Li couldn't sit still anymore. She wanted to try out her new car.
It was agreed that he would accompany Peilan for dinner next time. Qi Shaoqiang supported her and walked over carefully. He happened to see Zhou Taohua. She was talking to the nanny in the kitchen, occasionally stroking her hands with a smile on her face.
Jiang Li took a look through the window and got into the car.
"Do you want me to drive?" Qi Shaoqiang asked.
"Can you drive?"
“I’ve driven it before in the army.”
The car was too cold and ice had formed on the road. Jiang Li was sweating and nervous after driving for a while. Of course, she would love to have 彭 as a driver.
After turning the corner, we entered the Xu family's area, and suddenly two figures appeared in front.
One had no hair on his head, and the other was obese and stumbled as he walked in the snow.
"Stop! Stop!"
Du Ling rushed to the front of the car and opened her arms. She and her mother had been waiting here for a long time and only then did they see a car coming from Xu's house.
Qi Shaoqiang saw them clearly, of course. He stepped on the brakes lightly to stop the car, and then immediately checked Jiang Li's condition, "Are you not scared?"
Jiang Li shook her head, "I'm fine!"
Qi Shaoqiang had an angry look on his face. He opened the car door, got out of the car, grabbed Du Ling by the collar, and threw her into the snow.
Zhou Hui rushed over to help, but was also picked up by Qi Shaoqiang and thrown into a snowdrift.
After taking a mouthful of mud mixed with leaves and ice cubes, Du Ling felt nauseous and kept swearing.
"Why do you hit me? You are so proud now. You relied on that bitch Jiang Li to get close to the Xu family and became very successful.
Bah! You are a gigolo, you live on women, are you still a man? "
"Jiang Li, don't be so complacent. Sooner or later, you will be eaten up and die like your mother!"
Qi Shaoqiang had already walked to the car door. When he heard this, he turned around and walked back step by step, standing in front of them. Zhou Hui didn't care that her butt was numb from the fall, and hugged Du Ling in fear, "What are you doing?"
Before she finished her words, a piece of dog shit flew into Du Ling's mouth. It was the poop of some pet dog nearby, and it was frozen hard.
Qi Shaoqiang took off his dirty leather gloves and threw them on Du Ling's head. In his deep voice, he warned her without reservation, "If I hear you say something dirty again, I will make you disappear from Haicheng."
"If you don't believe it, just try it!"
Through the car window, Jiang Li only heard a general idea. Zhou Hui and Du Ling were both suddenly left with nothing, and they were desperate. She didn't take their dirty words to heart at all.
Qi Shaoqiang returned to the car, his handsome face tightly tied. He stroked her hair soothingly, then started the car slowly.
Jiang Li was drowsy in the car heater, and Qi Shaoqiang's aggrieved voice rang out, "Wife, she said I was a gigolo."
"She is jealous that you are good-looking and can make a living just by relying on your looks. Ignore her.
Besides, our leader once said that women’s ambitions can hold up half of the country.
I am responsible for external affairs, and you are responsible for internal affairs. We have a reasonable division of labor, and it is not the turn of irrelevant outsiders to make irresponsible remarks. "
A light laugh sounded, and Qi Shaoqiang's deep voice reached his ears, "Well, wife, you have to support me from now on. I'm counting on you."
He turned his head, his face showing embarrassment and teasing.
"Okay, you're not angry at all..."
The car slowly stopped outside the city hospital near their home. Although Jiang Li said she was fine, Qi Shaoqiang still insisted on accompanying her for a check-up to feel relieved.
After a leisurely Spring Festival holiday, Jiang Li's clothing store opened on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Wang Juan and Ding Meifang had already cleaned the bathroom thoroughly, and they opened the shop in high spirits.
Customers also came in batches. When they were about to leave, Gu Zhanjin came over with his two sons and said, "Let me inform you that from now on, you can't open a store here. We are going to take back this store."
Ding Meifang was directing Jiang Li to apply medicine to the customers, and was still waiting for the customers to see the bad intentions of these men and run away in fear.
Jiang Li gave Wang Juan, who had hurried over, a look. Wang Juan quietly reached for the phone, called Qi Shaoqiang and Peilan, and reported the incident to the police.
"Our contract is for three years. You can take the house back if you want, but we will move out when the penalty is paid!"
"What the hell is this penalty for breach of contract? I own the house and I can take it back if I want.
Get out of here! I won't allow you bitches to do business here and ruin my family's reputation!"
Ding Meifang was anxious and went up to argue, "You old fool, keep your mouth shut!"
Jiang Li said that there were only a few women here, and if a conflict occurred, they would be the only ones to suffer.
"What did you say, you bitch?" The old man's son slapped Ding Meifang in the face, making her face red.
"If you have any problem, come to me!" Jiang Li protected her behind her, not allowing the old man's son to move forward. His arms were tightly clamped, and with a click, the sound of a broken bone was heard.
"This little girl is really weird, she's so strong!"
At the same time, the younger son saw his elder brother being wronged, so he picked up a chair and smashed it on Jiang Li's head.
"Boss!"
"pear."
At the critical moment, Wang Juan rushed over and stood in front of Jiang Li, but she was hit hard on the shoulder. It hurt so much that tears came out and her hands trembled violently.
